Window Treatments for the Dining Room

Kara Roberts from Smith & Noble joins Bob to review the selections made for window coverings in the Mashers' dining room. Starting with the sheer organza, polyester, crushed iridescent panels over the French doors, Roberts helped homeowner Jeanne Sanviti-Masher select window coverings that are kid-friendly and complement the decor. The panels hang from a disitnctive rod with decorative hardware and cost about $350 for the complete look. Roberts does recommend an undertreatment for sheer panels, both for light control and privacy. The Mashers selected a tight-weave bamboo Roman shade for the French doors. This custom shade costs about $250.

Jonathan Adler Reviews Interior Design Finishes

Bob joins the project's interior designer, Jonathan Adler, in the guest bedroom to discuss the decor. Adler used a Lucite shelf to add storage space without making the small room appear smaller. The rug is goatskin and the bed is from the West Elm Catalog, a local Brooklyn retailer that specializes in "urban living". The room is painted in Wheatland Beige from Bob's Signature line of paints. In the second bedroom Adler borrowed ideas from David Hicks to design a sumptuous office. He uses bold patterns, colors and materials to mix pop art with luxury. Bob points out a 1970 reproduction Thonet rocking chair made with chrome instead of the typical bentwood.

Interior Design in the Dining Room

Homeowners Jeanne Sanviti-Masher and David Masher look at the finished dining room with Bob. Using a favorite landscape painting by Priscilla Serafin, a local Rowley artist, Jeanne chose a muted yellow for the walls. For the dining room table, the Mashers decided to match mission-style upholstered chairs through Design Works, a Cape Cod furniture purveyor that created the table and provided Portuguese pottery, French flatware, and Czechoslovakian crystal, all from the Juliska line, to complete the look.

Interior Design for a Florida Home

Homeowner Teresa Fogolini greets Bob as he enters the house for the final walkthrough. Bob remarks that this is move-in time for the homeowners, but little remains of their belongings since they lost virtually everything when Hurricane Charley destroyed their home. Cynthia Guncsaga from Bacon's Furniture Galleries joins them to explain how they determined furniture selections and design schemes for the new home. Guncsaga explains that it's important to learn from the homeowners, what they like, and start from there to assemble groupings and themes. Fogolini and Bob mention the Porcelanosa steel-look tile that became the driving force for the colors selected inside, picking up on the blues, browns, and natural hues in the tile. The bamboo welcome garden in the front yard becomes a material theme that is carried throughout, in the furniture frames, tables, and chairs. Art that reflects the style of the homeowners including a painting depicting a hurricane survival kit are on loan from Presseller's Gallery in Punta Gorda. In the bedroom, natural wood tones continue and complement the Brazilian Walnut hardwood floor from Bellawood. Neutral tiles and earth tones complete the look in the master bath.
